adverse bounce enjoyable fight found ice injuries stuck team time together whether year
Each time we've been down, we've been able to fight through. The most enjoyable part this year is we've been through some adverse situations, whether it's injuries or or off ice scenarios, we've all stuck together as team and found a way to bounce back and play well.
against bit build came game looked season team tired type works
This was a long season for the type of game we had to play. I thought we looked a bit tired for stretches of that game. We came up against a team that works as well. Unfortunately we weren't able to build a lead.
couple fought guys hard key team teammates using
We've got a couple key guys who have been out and we have really fought hard to play as a team and not try to do too much. We're using our teammates a lot better.
excited future jimmy naturally proud team
Naturally I am disappointed that Jimmy will not be back with our team this season, but I am also very proud of Jim and excited for his future with Detroit.
college consistent difficult example good moments run team together
It's very difficult to put a consistent run together in college hockey, and I think we're a good example of that. We've had our moments but at the same time, we're very beatable as well. I think a team like BU is a good example.
break coming continuing effort exactly finally game goals good hard ice key knew needed power puck solid special team
It was a good solid team effort today. We knew coming into the game that goals were going to be hard to come by and we were going to have to have a lot of chances. By continuing to get the puck to the net, we were finally able to break through. Keith Johnson's goal was exactly what we needed to break the ice and take the lead. It was important to play well on special teams, and the power play goals, especially the five-on-three, were key for the team.
defensive explosive goals good last quite remind team tough year
They remind me a lot of our team last year quite honestly. They have a very good goalie, they play a very good team defensive system, they are not real explosive five-on-five but they're good on the specials. They're a real good team. Goals will be tough to come by.
bottom great hockey line playing strong talented team
The bottom line is that we know they are a real strong team, a real talented team and they are playing very well down the stretch. I think it is going to be just a great hockey game.
bit cost four frozen good ironic reason special teams
Special teams was very important, it always is. It's probably the only reason why we're here, getting to the Frozen Four because we've had such good special teams. So it is a bit ironic that that cost us in this game.
building carry challenge consistent either focused fortunate game gone impressed minutes momentum number period saturday several sixty swung team third tonight
Northeastern has had our number in this building for several years and we were fortunate to come out with a win. This was a game that could have gone either way and the momentum swung several times, but we were able to carry it for most of the third period. We have not been the most consistent team over sixty minutes this season, but we were very focused i the third period tonight and I was impressed with that. Saturday night will be another challenge for our team.
bit cost football freedom guys ironic plays power reason special teams
I think the only reason we've been here is because of special teams. So, it's a bit ironic that special teams cost us the game. We give our guys freedom to make plays on the power play. Sometimes, it comes back to bit us.
both defended second teams
I thought both teams defended their end well, there weren't a lot of second shots. I think that was a big difference.
fans game harvard provides team
I think back to two years ago, we had the most fans of any team there. Especially in the Harvard game where we had to come back. It just provides such a lift.
against anyone backs bother four games imagine last players pressure rise situation strong team wall year
Last year our backs were to the wall and we had to go against a very strong Lowell team for four games and we did it. We have been in this situation before and been able to rise up to the challenge. As for the pressure, it doesn't bother me because I put more pressure on myself than anyone could put on me. I imagine most of our players are the same.
